Abstract This thesis exaaines the victim selec~ionpattern of serial rapists in British Columbia against several models derived from Environmental Criminology- Information about offender activity nodes and routine pathways was compared with information about the location of initial contact scenes of the offenses. The comparisons were made using Canter and Larkin's f1993) circle and Tange tests and the underlying Geometry of Crime Model of Brantingharn and Brantingham (1981, 1991). Rossmots (1993) Criminal Geographic Targeting model was used to answer a number of subsidiary questions, Data for a population of thirty British Columbia series were selected from case files held by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RW) at "Em division headquarters in Vancouver. The files contained sufficient information to permit recreation of portlons of each offender's routine activity space. Each file provided information about the offender's residence at the time an offence occurred and about the initial contact scene of that offence. Additional information collected for many of the offenders included routes commonly taken by the offender and the location of past residences, work locations, friendst residences, family members' residences, and places of vorship. The location of the initial contact scene for each rape was compared via measured distances to the imputed routine activity area or awareness space of the offender. These distances iii - constituted the unit cf analysis used in the research. Results of the research support the importance of the serial rapist's avareness space in shaping victim selection patterns. The initial contact scenes were consistently found to be close to the activity nodes and especially the routine pathways of this serial rapist population. Although this thesis is a pioneer study and is essentially exploratory in nature there appears to be great potential for studying the relationship between initial contact scenes and the awareness space of violent serial criminals. This research suggests that the target selection process used by serial rapists is not random and may be predictable. If these hypotheses could be verifiedby additional research, it would h~lpidentify information that, if accurately collected, would greatly enhance the investigative and linkage analysis capabilities of crime analysis units. A number of people were instrumental in assisting me complete this work. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Patricia Brantingham who provided considerable guidance and invaluable support. I would als~like to acknowledge Dr. Paul Brantingham for his assistance and guidance. The Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System (VICLAS) unit consisting of Cpl. Keith Davidson, Cpl. Rob Lamb, and Cpl. Yme Smid offered invaluable support and suggestions on how to write a thesis that would have practical usefulness. The victims of these terrible crimes and their accounts offered the constant inspiration to complete a work that would assist law enforcement personnel jn the investigation of these crimes and the quick apprehension of these criminals. A number of others offered great support, most notably my wife Jenny who makes all the effort worthwhile.

John Horace Oughton was just such a character. Known as the 'Taperbag Rapistw\ Oughton terrorized the lower mainland' of British Columbia from 1977 to 1985. He was involved in at least 81 sexual assault incidents, although police investigators believe he may have been responsible for something between 150 and 200 separate sexual assault incidents. Oughton's offenses were particularly cruel in that his preferred victims were young girls between 10 and 15 years The term "serial sexual assa~lter*~is technically more accurate for such offenders in Canada. Rape legislation in the United States and sexual assault legislation in Canada, as defined in sections 271-273 of the Criminal Code of Canada, are largely consistent although there are important differences. Few researchers differentiate between the terms and in this thesis they are used synonymously. Ply own definition of a serial rapist will be outlined in chapter 3. Of the 13,416 adult persons charged with sexual assault in Canada in 1992, 98% were male. Of those 2,072 youths charged with sexual assault, 97% were male. Therefore, referring to the rapist as "hen is appropriate (Source: Canadian Crime Statistics, 1992, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, p . 29). me lover mainland is a large geographical region which encoapasses the city of Vancouver and its suburbs- of age. His attacks usually involved two or three victims. In the 81 confirmed sexual assault incidents there were almost 140 victims. Oughton had a well-developed modus operandi, He would attack his victims in parks and wooded areas alongside roadways or school yards. Once he had decided when and where to initiate his attack Oughton would hide himself where he could see potential victims. After selecting his -rictim(s) Oughton would entice tha into the bush area away from sight. He often asked his victim(s) to help him look for his dog that, he claimed, was lost in the bcsh. At other times he was more direct and would threaten to kill the victims if they did not follow him into the bush. Once the victim(s) were away from direct view Oughton would force them to perform and submit to sexual acts, threatening to kill them or their family members if they refused to cooperate. Oughton was given the moniker "Paperbag Rapist" when, in a few of the cases, he wore a paperbag over his head to disguise himself. He often blindfolded his victims as well. Oughton further disguised himself with wigs, coloured contacts, and theatrical makeup. This was at least part of the reason why he was able to avoid suspicion for such a long time- The Oughton series is of special significance because of the large number of offenses attributed to him. The series and his story, will be discussed in more depth in Chapter 5.

  • The Case of J Effrey Dah M Er
    5 THE CASE OF J EFFREY DAH M ER OVERVIEW This chapter specifically addresses the highly publicized case of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial lust murderer responsible for the death and mutilation of 17 young men. In an attempt to create a working profile, several factors linked to Dahmer's social and family history, sexuality, education, employment status, fantasy system, and criminality are discussed. In Chapter 6, this developmental portrait is linked to the three principal theoretical models discussed within Chapters 3 and 4. Specifically, Chapter 6 explores what insights the motivational, trauma control, and integrative paraphilic typologies offer in their accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer's criminal behavior. This exercise is particularly useful since the goal is to ascertain the extent to which each conceptual schema advances our understanding of serial sexual homicide (i.e., lust murder) and those persons who commit this act. This chapter is divided into two sections. First, several methodological issues germane to our overall assessment of Jeffrey Dahmer are delineated. Given that our approach emphasizes the case study investigatory strategy, a number of remarks relevant to this line of analysis are warranted. Some observations regard- ing the elements of the case study method are specified, several justifications for the selection of a qualitative approach are outlined, and a description of the data is supplied. Second, both historical and biographical information concerning Dahmer's life is provided. These data are sequenced chronologically, commencing with his early childhood development and moving all the way to his violent fantasies, criminal conduct, and paraphilic behaviors. Profiling his case in this way allows 67 68 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LUST MURDER the reader to assess the merits of the general organization and facilitates a more comprehensive and seamless evaluation within the application work undertaken in Chapter 6.

  • Exploring Racial Bias in Print Media Coverage of Serial Rape Cases
    BLACK, WHITE, AND READ ALL OVER: EXPLORING RACIAL BIAS IN PRINT MEDIA COVERAGE OF SERIAL RAPE CASES by LAUREN ELIZABETH WRIGHT B.A. Ohio University, 2010 M.A. Ohio University, 2014 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2017 Major Professor: Lin Huff-Corzine © 2017 Lauren Elizabeth Wright ii ABSTRACT The discussion of race and crime has been a long-standing interest of researchers, with statistics consistently showing an overrepresentation of non-white offenders compared to their white counterparts – specifically in relation to violent crimes such as murder and rape. Prior research has found that about 46 percent of serial rapists are black, a fact that correlates with other sensationalized violent crimes such as mass murder and serial murder. The news media are the primary sources of this kind of information for the general public, with previous studies acknowledging that the media primarily focus on discussing non-white offenders in their crime- based news stories. With the majority of Americans receiving their information about crime from the news media, it is important to increase our understanding of how their representations might influence the general public. The current study explores the print media representations of serial rapists, from 1940-2010, from five newspapers: The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune. A content analysis was conducted on 524 articles covering 297 serial rape offenders from the data compiled by Wright, Vander Ven, and Fesmire (2016) in which race of the offender was known.

Key Findings Rethinking Serial Perpetration or several years, the serial perpetration hypothesis has been the dominant narrative of rape perpetration. The hypothesis has three primary components: (1) a small number F of men perpetrate the vast majority of rapes, (2) these men perpetrate rape consistently over time, and (3) most rapists have numerous victims. Recent research challenges the first two elements of the hypothesis. The third element remains unclear due to measurement limitations.1 The serial perpetration hypothesis is most strongly instrumentally groom their victims prior to the based on a cross-sectional study using a sample of assault, use alcohol to incapacitate their victims, 120 self-identified rapists (age 18 to 71) pooled from and often perpetrate other acts of interpersonal four studies conducted over seven years from a violence as well; the hypothesis was personified in single university (Lisak & Miller, 2002). a widely shown video of an actor portraying the The authors found that among male students who serial perpetrator “Frank” (e.g., Schontzler, 2013).

Despite the difference in their criminal acts, sexual serial killers and pedophiles have similar characteristics. Biological, environmental and psychological theories of criminal behavior were studied which illustrated their significance to how a person can choose to commit a crime. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a presence or absence within multiple forms of childhood trauma experienced between the sexual serial killer and pedophile.

Us AUTHOR'S PREFACE IT is to be feared that of the facts set forth in this volume " many " are of a distinctly unpleasant nature, so unpleasant that the writer would fain have omitted them. But had he done so he would have failed to substantiate his case i.e., that the German people are undeniably a degenerate race, if not the most degenerate race in Europe. Moreover, the writer contends that these un- wholesome facts (taken largely from German sources), nauseous as they may be, demand to be placed on record in a British publica- tion. Further, he believes such facts cannot be too widely known, and that their knowledge will be of value in combating the pre- " " posterous and dangerous peace ideas unfortunately held in various quarters in Great Britain : For instance, among those ill-informed, emasculated individuals styling themselves the " Union of Democratic Control." Also the writer would commend a perusal of the statistics in reference to German vice and crime contained herein to those of our politicians (and they are many) totally with the mental and moral condition of the unacquainted " " German people. Recognizing the adult character of many of the statements and facts recorded in this book the writer thought it best to obtain responsible opinion as to whether such statements and facts should be made public, and he therefore approached Mr.

  • Theoretical Explanations 4 Sexual Homicide O
    Notes 2 Sexual Homicide Offending: Offender Classifications 1 . The victims of the non-serial SHOs were 89% female and 8% male. The remaining 3% of the victims were murdered by serial SHOs whose victims included both females and males. 3 Sexual Homicide Offending: Theoretical Explanations 1 . Although Hickey’s (1997, 2002) trauma-control model initially offers a theo- retical explanation for serial murder, this model can also be applied to the theoretical study of sexual homicide, particularly serial sexual homicide. 4 Sexual Homicide Offending: In Search of a Criminological Explanation 1 . The potential of other mainstream criminological theories, such as self-control, social bonding, strain, and social disorganization, to explain the offending perspective of sexual homicide, although not examined in this work, should not be overlooked. 2 . Proponents of theoretical integration argue that this method reduces the number of theories and offers a more powerful explanation of crime and delin- quency. There are scholars (e.g., Hirschi, 1979, 1989; Short, 1979) who believe in combining two or more theories. However, is this either an undesirable goal or a formidable task (Bernard & Snipes, 1996)? Hirschi (1979), for example, argue that most theories are contradictory in nature and their assumptions are incompatible. Theories can only be integrated if they are basically arguing the same thing. Integration may ultimately misrepresent individual theories (Hirschi, 1989). 5 Sexual Homicide Offending: Toward an Integrative Theoretical Explanation 1 . Homicidal sexual offenders (HSOs), sexual homicide offenders (SHOs), sexual murderers, and sex killers are used interchangeably in referring to the same group of sexual offenders – those who sexually killed their victim.
